    Just wanted to reiterate how much I love Cedars deli, and that's pretty much all. Yesterday I was in grabbing a couple of falafel wraps, and there were some obnoxious gentleman in front of me who obviously had never tried Mediterranean eats before. The staff were incredibly patient, explaining what was in everything and being total champs.

    While I was ordering my two falafel wraps, the gentleman making my delicious wraps suddenly demanded, "Who is the other one for?" In my head, this would proceed to turn into a Pulp Fiction moment....
    "DESCRIBE WHAT MARCELLUS WALLACE...LOOKS LIKE!"
    *stuttering exchange involving guns occurs*
    "DOES...HE... LOOK... LIKE... A ....BITCH?!"

    Of course, this isn't what actually happened. I told him it was for my mom, and they wrote MOM on the other falafel which was quite cute and helpful.

    I enjoy all of my experiences at Cedar's Deli. The falafel is amazing, the salads taste fresh, and they prioritize customer service.

    Ah Cedars....This was once a favourite hotspot for me and my coworkers when I worked for an online company that's changed it's name a dozen times. Tip: Getting into the habit of eating 6 of Cedar's Falafel balls and your permeating garlic smell will surely squash any chances you have @ an office romance!

    Recently I decided to hit Cedar's again on a whim and craving for their Mediterranean goodness. So much that I decided to kidnap and drag Tiffany here boasting about how great Cedars is. She seemed content in scarfing down her falafel plate gabbing about her Napa-ventures and I seemed content in not telling her about the glob of Cedar's AMAZING sauce hanging like a phantom on her chin :D

    Super friendly folks that will literally HOOK you up with the good stuff. Most donair and shawarma shops are like Vietnamese joints where the fare is starting to be average, but Cedar's is still a cut above. Fresh ingredients, well seasoned meats, and hefty servings. And I agree with everyone, the price is great and for a few dollars change, you can literally walk away with a Donair the size of Popeye's forearm :D

    QUESTION: What's the size of a small dog or a young child's arm but is much more legal to consume?

    ANSWER: A donair from this place.

    Their donairs are massive. Their donair sauce is like angels weeping on your tongue. They are friendly, courteous and sometimes call you "boss".

    You can also put pickles in your donair and they won't even make fun of you for being whiter than a snowstorm. They're just happy you stopped by.

    Fresh food, big portions, reasonable prices, great ownership. If you're on Edmonton trail and your stomach is rumblin' for some shwarma, pull in and get happy.

    Have been eating at Cedars since they had their downtown locations and they make the tastiest shwarma and Lebanese food in town.  That is well known, but what people reviewing here are forgetting to mention is that this family owned business makes THE BEST BAKLAVA this side of Beirut!  I kid you not, and everybody that I have gotten to try it has agreed.  Treat yourself.  Stop by, have a meal and go for some baklava for later.  You will be glad you did.

    Fresh, Fantastic food, great prices, friendly staff, and home made Baklava.  They are the real deal and they cover it all.

    Eat up!

    Whether you order beef, chicken donair or falafel, rest assured that the portion is generous not to mention the fabulous taste. The price is very reasonable, just over $6 for beef & $7+ for chicken donairs compare to $10+ in other restaurants. Staff/owners are very friendly too.
    We get take out from here almost every week since my husband & I both love donairs. Will DEFINITELY RECOMMEND to anyone.

    My favorite shawarma in the city.  Every wrap is huge and loaded with a handsome portion of meat (or falafel, if you're going vegetarian) and veggies.  Oh and the veggies... Most shops don't have a great selection of toppings to choose from, but Cedar's has a "subway-like" table full of stuff to pick.

    The falafel and shawarma wraps are already big enough, but if you have a bigger stomach their platters are just amazing.  Its the same as a wrap, but on a plate with rice and pita thrown in.

    Its quite busy during the lunch rush, but you usually don't wait too long.  Prices are typical for what usually sells around Calgary.  So considering these wraps are huge, you get a great value.

    Just went today. I work in the NE and my coworkers rave about this place. I finally decided it was time to check it out.

    I loved it. I had one of the "plates" (the food was excellent but I don't think i'd have it again, i'd rather just have the pita wrap).

    The food was cheap (but not cheap quality). They were also very quick and efficient.

    I loved the outside patio, easy to grab a quick lunch.

    I'll be going back soon to do some exploring of their menu.

    Cheap shawarma for everyone! Yaaayyy!!! :-)

    People at the counter are friendly and working like robots slicing and wrapping and packing and asking you about the ingredients and... well, like it always happens at a busy shawarma place, popular between the locals.

    All the social backgrounds are welcome, so you can see some creative director and a bunch of other office high's sitting at the table next to a gang of painters or gas pump workers. Everyone happy chewing those immense wraps of shawarma, talking about their work-related stuff.

    I like that false feeling of social equality leveraged against a pita stuffed with meat cuts mixed with vegetables.

    Cedars was one of my default lunch destinations for almost 10 months I stayed in Calgary and failed me just twice - when their tiny parking lot was packed and the rest was covered with piles of snow. But I don't mind, it was my bad to go there at 12 - the place was already packed starting at like 11:30...

    Hey, I even bought there a pack of mate - "Cruz de Malta" - what else can you ask from a shawarma place? :-)

    Great food and service.  Best Donair I have had.  The place was clean, decent space and some outdoor patio.
    Patio needed some shade or umbrellas and the location is a little out of the way but if you are in the area worth a stop.
